CineTube 1.4.1.0
CineTube is one such application and it aims to bring a decent selection at your fingertips, so you can enjoy a couple of pleasant movie nights, with your phone as the cinema screen.
Smooth GUI with nicely designed graphics
The application has a quite pleasant look, featuring some beautiful backgrounds that give the interface a velvet-textured feel. The intuitive layout makes it possible to view and browse the available titles, which are organized in several main categories for you to choose from.
The video quality is pretty good in most cases, but it depends on the source it comes from. Unfortunately, the playback is hindered by the presence of advertisement banners in both portrait and landscape modes.
Fast search and instant playback for selected movies
CineTube enables you to view on the home screen a selection with the most relevant titles, beginning with the more recently added movies. Inside the "genres" section you will find all the categories and browse them manually.
In case you are looking for a specific movie, the "Search" function may be of some assistance. Nonetheless, due to the very limited amount of videos available inside this app, most of the time you will get very few results, if any at all.
A small synopsis of the movie is available when selecting a title and after choosing one of the provided streams, the playback will start instantly, without any buffering or other delays.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The interface of this application is really nice looking, with carefully designed graphics and appealing background images. The decent organization of the content is also a plus and only the presence of the ad banners during the playback spoils some of the experience. |
Function7
The movies included inside CineTube's database are very quick to load and navigate through, while the information accompanying the titles is sufficient. On the downside, there are very few motion pictures and documentaries available, while those that have no valid stream link are still listed. |
Security7
This app wants to look inside several secure areas of the system, namely the owner identity, phone dialer, location services and maps, without having a logical connection with the actual functionality. |
Battery7
The utility needs a decent amount of power to function properly and only while streaming the movies will the battery usage reach higher levels. |
Price7
Since it is offered without any costs other than having to endure the adverts while the video is playing, the application has a good value, which is affected by the insufficient number of titles it provides access to. |
Compatibility8
Pretty much all users who own a Windows Phone 8 and above device will be able to have this app up and running on a screen that has a minimum resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. |
A well intended but poorly supplied cinema
